Important update!

Previous link led to a wrong round!!!

Please use this one (updated in the post as well)

Have you already created a profile on https://app.potlock.org/ for your DeSci project?

I've made a profile for LunCo, and once I'll get some donation to pay for gas I'll make a profile for HyperDeSci

PS It's Rod, I need a week or so to deal with health issues, and hopefully after that I'll have more energy to continue working on HyperDeSci

PPS You'll need to create a named account like lunco.near to be able to apply, I've used (thx to Paul Burg) https://wallet.meteorwallet.app/wallet to do that

Funding opportunity for ReFi projects building on Arbitrum with a focus on climate https://app.charmverse.io/refi-in-arbitrum-grants/refi-in-arbitrum-grants-program-overview-03828600111718794

Another funding opportunity for DeSci projects https://artizen.fund

And one more for projects building on Polygon https://polygon.technology/grants

Scolarship Program for people to get to DevCon in BKK, probably someone need it

1. Ethereum Comminty leaders (wow, mayby HyperDeSci makes me eligible :D???)
2. Law Students & Legal Professionals
3. Artists & Sci-fi Writers Cohort
4. Other Builders (sounds like an opportunity for DeSci people :D)

Hey everyone! Please re-share this post to your network to help increase the reach of the Decentralized Space ecosystem: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/univ_space-spaceeconomy-activity-7208846724600143872-VqeS?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

Hey all, how it's growing?

It feels like we need kind of a governance token for:

1. Voting for projects to be accepted to future rounds/initiatives
2. Reward contributors
3. Allow projects to contribute back to the community

Is anyone interested to work on Token Engineering/Tokenomics for it?

Ps - let’s try to summon guys from Token Engineering Commons, they should be able to help

Initial thoughts about Governance Token for HyperDeSci to kickstart the discussion

Please review, comment, suggest!

DevCon is looking for speakers!

Guys from JuiceBox have launched new initiative- they are helping projects with fundraising on the platform

Highly suggest to reach them and schedule a quick call

The best place to start the journey is the group on telegram

I've started to draft the diagram showing how HyperDeSci could operate

Would much appreciate feedback, Miro board is here

It makes sense to test separately different parts of the proposed idea.

One of the biggest centralized bottlenecks is projects acceptance.

Following the definition "Math is a social activity done by mathematicians" we could do similar with DeSci:

1. Create a ledger of credible DeSci projects (in a sense it's already done)
2. To be accepted to the round the projects should vote for other projects on the round (voting is a obligation to be accepted to the round) - does it makes sense?
3. Of enough voted for - the project is accepted to the round
4. It would be nice to also add a mechanism when accepted projects do not have to be reevaluated


Let's discuss the idea!!!

DevCon is looking for speakers!

Applications starts on July 9th, ends on July 30th

Suggested topics to cover could be found here

I'm thinking of applying with a talk about DeSci/DeSpace, not sure yet

PS In the Real World Expirience there is a section "DESCI Success Stories"

Finally finished report for Round Two.

Unfortunatelly the results are not so interesting compared to the first round :D With the first round we were lucky to catch the green wave that started with crypto earlier this year


Matching fund: 500 $USDC
Round saturation: 4.05%
To be payed: 20.2827 USDC
Chains: Scroll
Total projects: 9
Total raised: $14.32
Total Contributions: 11
Dates: May 23 - June 3


PS The payout hence small still will be done somewhere this week
PPS Still waiting for the funds from Polygon Round One

https://github.com/LunCoSim/hyperdesci/blob/main/ROUND_TWO_REPORT.md

Payout transaction for Round Two have being sent

What should be the next experiment?

https://scrollscan.com/tx/0x93b74a107792a04e43196da2f8f1ad6df923842acd55171425796b218760edcb

Anyone got ideas how HyperDeSci could benefit Arbitrum ecosystem?

If anyone has an idea we could do something like:

1. The donated funds will be distributed later via QF
2. 30% of the matching funds will go to those who would deliver something for the Arb ecosystem, while the rest 70% will go to the matching pool as well

If anyone got any ideas - let's discuss

A great source of inspiration for new (upcoming :D) ways to fund DeSci
